There is a lot of discussion on weather VW has made the right call to use 0w-20 weight oil in its new EA888 3B-cycle engines. What is different with the EA888 3B? Basically the intake valves close earlier (before bottom dead center) when the load is low to be more fuel efficient. When at higher loads the valves close as they do in most engines at bottom dead center. So as far as we know thanks to Dr. Ralph Budack making these design changes it is best to use 0w-20 in your EA888 3B-cycle engine.

The powerful MFC (Molecular Friction Control) technology prevents the formation of deposits while simultaneously reducing frictional losses in the engine.
High-performance, low-friction engine oil for year round use. The combination of unconventional base oils and advanced additive technology as well as the special Molygen additive ensures that the motor oil is of low viscosity with a high shear stability and reliably prevents the formation of deposits, significantly reducing frictional losses in the engine and providing the optimum protection from wear. The results are savings in fuel and an extended service life for the engine.
Features and Benefits:
- smooth engine running
